Younkins called the latest delay "fairly minor," adding, "We're pleased with the project. It's a very much needed courthouse."
Thomas Sipp of The Sipp Law Firm, president of the Richmond County Bar Association, said he and colleagues are "well advised of the project because we walk by it everyday. What was a vacant lot is now a substantial structure."
He too shrugged off the pushed-back opening.
"As with any construction project, there are going to be certain delays maybe not anticipated from the get-go," he said.
